New 3D map of Universe could solve dark energy mystery

SMRTR summary

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has completed the highest-resolution 3D map of the Universe ever created, mapping over 47 million galaxies across 11 billion years to investigate whether dark energy remains constant or changes over time. Early data hints that dark energy may be weakening rather than staying constant as Einstein's theory predicted, potentially revolutionizing our understanding of cosmic expansion.
